Chrysler ASPEN 4X2 problems and owner complaints

WE RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. EVERYTIME WE FILL UP AT THE PUMP IT DOES NOT SHUT OFF AND SPRAYS FUEL EVERYWHERE. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS MODEL, BUT THEY DO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME YEAR DURANGO'S. ALL OVER THE INTERNET I HAVE READ OF THIS PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER SAYS IT IS A FAULTY GAS TANK AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MINE IS NOT IN WARRANTY AND I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THIS IS A SEVER SAFETY AND FIRE HAZARD. *TR

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND "GASCAP" WORDING KEEPS COMING ON MY 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. HAVE REPLACED GASCAP WITH CHRYSLER PART. HAVE RESET COMPUTER CODES SEVERAL TIMES. EACH TIME, THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF BUT 2-3 DAYS LATER COME BACK ON. TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHO REPLACED A SENSOR AND RESET CODES. 2 DAYS LATER, LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. TOOK BACK TO DEALER. DEALER NOW SAYS MY FUEL TANK NEEDS REPLACING DUE TO A CRACK CAUSING A LEAK! THE VEHICLE HAS 43K MILES ON IT. THIS DOES NOT SEEM SAFE TO ME- I KNOW THAT THE DURANGOS AND ASPENS HAVE HAD LOTS OF FUEL TANK P…

CURRENTLY AT 60 MILES SHORT OF 3,000 MILES. SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IT HAS ACTED VERY STRANGE. IT ALL STARTED WHILE IN DRIVE THE VEHICLE WILL INCREASE IN RPM'S BUT WILL NOT MOVE IN FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. NOW THIS INCLUDED A TIME OR TWO WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT. MY ASPEN'S NEW THING IS TO HAVE A MOMENTARY LOSS OF ENGINE POWER FOLLOWED BY THE DASH BOARD ILLUMINATING AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE IGNITION STATE BUT NOT STARTED. ONCE THIS EVENT TAKES PLACE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT LOG MILES DRIVEN, DOES NOT SHOW CURRENT SPEED, DOES NOT SHOW R…

WE OWN A NEW UNRELIABLE 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. OVER A DOZEN TIMES, IT HAS RANDOMLY LOST POWER AND SLID INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN WHERE THE DRIVER HAS NO POWER, BRAKES, OR STEERING. I HAVE HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR OFTEN WHEN IT DOES THIS SO THE CAR DOES NOT ROLE IN A PARKING LOT, OR SLIDE INTO MY GARAGE DOOR. ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH I WAS ON AN EXPRESSWAY AND I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR AGAIN WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR REVERSE. NEITHER DRIVE OR REVERSE OR NEUTRAL WAS LIT UP AND THE CAR WOUL…

THE CAR WAS IDLING WHILE WAITING TO FOLLOW ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS THEN PUT INTO DRIVE, AT WHICH POINT ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTION CEASED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE RADIO, WHICH WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE ENGINE ALSO STOPPED RUNNING. FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO THE RECALL ACTION INITIATED FOR DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH. IN SEPTEMBER, I HAD STOPPED FOR GAS AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR TO START IT, THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT MOVE, AS THOUGH I HAD AN INCORRECT KEY. AGAIN, SOMEHOW ABOUT 15 MINUTE…

FOR THE LAST 1-2 YEARS, EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK MY 2009 CHRYSLER ASPEN WILL STALL REPEATEDLY. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS, ALL STEERING AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS LOST. THE CAR WILL RESTART AFTER ABOUT 30-45 SECONDS. ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY THREE TIMES AFTER FUELING UP, THE PROBLEM STOPS UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I FILL UP THE TANK. THE ISSUE OCCURS WITHOUT FAIL EVER TIME I FILL UP MY TANK. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP A NUMBER OF TIMES AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE DETERMINED OR REPAIRED. THERE HAVE BEEN NO CODE…

ON 18 NOVEMBER 2010 AROUND 6 PM, MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME APPROXIMATELY THREE FEET FROM THE GARAGE ENTRANCE. TO MOVE THE VEHICLE INTO THE GARAGE FOR THE NIGHT, I GOT IN THE VEHICLE, CLOSED THE DOOR, STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, LET OFF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, STARTED IT, PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN 'D', LET OFF THE BRAKE, AND DID NOT TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL. THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY CYCLED UP TO 4000 RPM, AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STARTED MOVING FORWARD. I THEN HIT THE BRAKE TO NO EFFECT ON SPEED. THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED THROUGH THE GA…
